The Greer Foundation presents this award to individuals or organizations that exemplify the characteristics of two of America's finest young Army officers - Captain Michael Tarlavsky and Chief Warrant Officer Bruce Price.
Answering the nation's call to duty during the Global War on Terrorism, these brave men led their Special Forces A-Detachments with distinction under very difficult circumstances. Both warriors earned the Silver Star Medal for their courage and valor under fire in Iraq and Afghanistan respectively.
Their example of leadership was witnessed first hand by Steve as he served with Tarlavsky in the 25th Infantry Division and Price in the 3rd Special Forces Group. This award was created to honor these brave warriors and to inspire future generations of young leaders.
Although Tarlavsky and Price were truly remarkable leaders, their greatest impact on Steve's life is that both men treated everyone with the utmost dignity and respect. Their persona, professionalism, and positive attitude influenced many.
In 2006, The Greer Foundation established this award to honor their sacrifice and leadership. This award recognizes young leaders and organizations who serve children and exhibit loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage. Please contact us for more information. Awards are presented year round.
